Great drawing and i like the touch with the doll.^ Erm... There are still 24 out of 50 of the $1,000 prizes left herostratus.
The Cleaver and the Saint:
* The Cleaver - A huge (the height of a man and a half), loin-cloth clad Barbarian who claims he has "metal bones". He's carrying a "baby" (a doll). His weapon is a cleaver and as he attacks, he spurts prophecies of your impending doom.
Name the Codex NPC "Harvey Cain - Legitimate Rapist"

... you encounter 4 wardens escorting 2 escapees back to the insane asylum.
An awesome character and the reference is very subtle. I'd suggest to make him a mad, half-orc (neanderthal DNA, duh) priest. Priest goes better with spurting prophecies and can explain "the baby" - a mummified totem. He scribbles something into an old grimoire he carries with him, but when you loot it and try to read it, it become clear that it's a very cryptic and evil tome, taunting you with knowledge you don't know.* The Cleaver - A huge (the height of a man and a half), loin-cloth clad Barbarian who claims he has "metal bones".

I'll have to go through it all and count it tomorrow afternoon but a few hundred dollar donations have come in already.could we have an update how much money there's already donated?
If we fail to raise the $5kwhat will happen if the 5k goal is missed? do we pledge the donated amount to kickstarter?
Why don't you guys go for something serious rather than an in-joke? The formidable, intimidating, and dangerous party that you always wanted to play in a RPG.
I always wanted a D&D game where I could play a Chaotic Evil party of
1) A Balor
2) A Drider
3) A Dragon (that remains shape-shifted in human form, but can revert during fights)
4) A Beholder
5) A Demi-lich lord
6) An Illithid Mindflayer
This could be a special mission pack party. You can't create any of these classes or races in character creation. But you can play them with the mission pack that you unlock after defeating the game once on the highest difficulty. Something cool like that. And maybe give this special mission pack party its own unique opening in a different and harder dungeon. THIS should be the Codex party - the proof that Codexers will always play on the highest difficulty to get the best rewards?
I know I am largely alone in this request. I know my chances of convincing anybody are remote in this regard. But surely there is someone else who wants a RPG where you can command a party of liches and beholders? mondblut and Humanity has risen!, surely you agree with me? What about VentilatorOfDoom and Crooked Bee - as serious D&D enthusiasts and skeptics of this Codex meta-reference plan, maybe you agree too?

She yells "Let's play" when attacking you.
This :D . The Western Civilization Defence Squad is the most fascinating part of the Codex.I would suggest a Western Civilisation Defence Squad expedition, operating far away from its pristine homeland. Its mission would be to examine and catalogue specimens of surrounding races, partially to gain greater insight into their nature, but ultimately to aid in the search of the true origin of their own superior ancestors.
Party members include:
The monocled gentleman - A pure-bred scholar, acting as the leader of the expedition. Knowledgeable and polite, he will inquire about races deemed to be particularly interesting, and offer to pay bounties for skulls or even live specimens (companions, peasants and whatnot).
The radical traditionalist - Curt, abrasive and dismissive of lesser beings, this fellow is primarily concerned with mysticism and spiritual matters. He will only talk to sufficiently intelligent males, and might agree to trade mystical items. Presumably some kind of mage.
The zealous missionary - A priest of an unpopular yet still significant faith. He will gladly preach about his god, but at the first sign of counter-arguments from the player, he will become angry and condemn him to eternal damnation. He might ask for donations and provisions, but will turn hostile if the player gives him bread.
The loyal crusader - This veteran warrior is a devoted adherent of the missionary's faith. He is about as charming as your typical Amnish soldier and is by all accounts the muscle of the operation. If engaged in dialogue, he will unleash a long stream of hostile remarks about pretty munch everyone and everything he loathes in the world.
The depraved ranger - Acting as the scout and hunter of the party, this brooding northerner holds nothing but contempt for lesser (that is to say, other) races. Nevertheless, he might try to solicit charismatic and beautiful characters for unspeakable services.
The disgruntled dwarf - Pure mercenary rabble, hired as a pathfinder, labourer and supplementary guard. Characteristically greedy, this malicious little creature will eagerly reveal some party secrets in exchange for much-coveted potatoes. Information ranges from detailed accounts of the ranger taking some "less than tasteful" liberties with discarded specimens, to the location of a temple full of untold treasures (a lie, of course).
